India hits out at OIC over 'unwarranted references' to J&K

NEW DELHI: India on Sunday lashed out at Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) and rejected unwarranted references about Jammu & Kashmir made in resolutions adopted at the 47th Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) session.


"We strongly and categorically reject the factually incorrect, gratuitous and unwarranted references to India in resolutions adopted by the Organisation of Islamic Conference at the 47th CFM Session in Niamey, Republic of

Niger

, held on November 27-28," ministry of external affairs said in a statement.

The

MEA

said that OIC has "no locus standi in matters strictly internal to India, including that of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir".

"It is regrettable that OIC continues to allow itself to be used by a certain country, which has an abominable record on religious tolerance, radicalism and persecution of minorities, to indulge in anti-India propaganda. We strongly advise the OIC to refrain from making such references in future, the MEA added.
